Patrick was personable and open. He replaced the clutch on my car almost immediately, did a good job, stuck to the quote (which was very reasonble), picked up my car and returned it in a day. Would certainly recommend.

What a stroke of luck, thinking I had an issue with my car led to finding a great mechanic like Patrick.
Picked up vehicle, did MOT and fully serviced the vehicle and dropped it back same day. Didn't charge for trying to find fault, or suggest works that weren't necessary.
In life you need a good doctor, builder and mechanic - this is one of the 3. Highly recommended, thank you.

Once again quick and friendly service. Interim pre-MOT service for £99 and replaced a bulb for cost price. Spotted some advisory issues that I'll be putting in for repair post MOT.

Garages are like barbers, when you find one you stick with them forever :)
Went there for first time to do a full service on my bmw 1 series. The staff were very friendly and professional, they also done an engine flushing which made a huge difference on my car's performance. I will recommend the garage to my friends.

What are the main Convertible Roof parts?

The main components of a convertible roof are the fabric hood itself, the rubber seals that ensure a tight fit around windows and doors, the frame (holding the roof in its shape) and the mechanism for opening and closing the roof - either manual, electric or hydraulic.

+

What are the most common Convertible Roof issues?

The most common issues with a convertible are: failure of the electric or hydraulic opening/closing system, degrading or leaking rubber window seals, a 'smoky' or opaque rear window, or damage caused by deliberate vandalism. Our garages in London are equipped to deal with all of these.

+

How can I fix a leaking Convertible Roof?

First, one of our London specialists will want to inspect the car to isolate the issue, most commonly a loose, torn or degraded rubber seal no longer providing a tight fit. Seal components can be replaced individually at relatively low cost, and even treated with aviation sealant.

+

My Convertible Roof won't go up (or down). What is the issue?

The issue will be with the electric motor, the hydraulics, or the gearing/struts/wires that connect the motor to the roof frame. A garage in London will methodically isolate the issue and resolve it. This is the most complex part of a convertible roof and isn't a DIY fix.

+

How can I prevent Convertible Roof problems?

Simple - use it! Make sure to raise and lower the roof a few times in winter and you'll prevent jamming. Plus, driving a convertible in winter, with the heater on, can be fun.
